Reordering means changing the order of the parameter in the source string, 
e.g:
  printf("I eat %s and therefore I am a %s", "chicken", "man");
     = "I eat chicken and therefore I am a man"

 .. let's reorder:

  printf("I eat %2$s and therefore I am a %1$s", "chicken", "man");
     = "I eat man and therefore I am a chicken"

(sorry for lame example)
